We want to use FME server in order to copie/backup files , Application , database and store it in safe area , at the oment the task is done manualy , each time system admin will have to go trough all those files , and backup the to the specific location

You can create a workspace with a "Directory and File Pathnames"-reader to read the sources and use a "File Copy"-writer to write to another destination.

I agree. If they need to trigger the actual database backup as well, there's also SystemCaller and the SQLExecutor.

alos the overwrite option in writer file copy when set to no , still we are getting only one file

If you want dates from the original file then you should set to retrieve file properties.

You must format the dates so it's accepted as a valid filename. (No special characters like +)

 

If you need the current timestamp you can use the @DateTimeNow() function.

 

Here is an example:

 

If you set "overwrite existing file" to NO then it will not make a copy if the file is already there. So this is by design
